Origins of Chai
Masala chai is a creamy, spiced tea that’s most popular in India but is now enjoyed around the world. The spices used vary depending on the recipe, but common ones include cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and ginger. Our vegan chai-spiced coffee creamer takes inspiration from the undeniably delicious and spicy flavors of masala chai.

How to Make Homemade Coffee Creamer
The BEST (a.k.a. creamiest) dairy-free coffee creamer starts with a base of coconut milk, cashew butter, and water. We discovered that combo when developing our Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer and there’s no going back now. It’s too good! For this chai-spiced version, maple syrup adds sweetness while vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and nutmeg add chai-spiced goodness. Blend everything up until smooth and dreamy, and that’s it! The hardest step is deciding whether to add this creamer to hot coffee, iced coffee, or tea. When in doubt, grab three mugs and do it all! We won’t judge. We can’t wait for you to try this chai-spiced creamer! It’s:CreamyWarmingPerfectly spicedNaturally sweet& SO cozy!

May we also suggest making a batch of our 1-Bowl Carrot Apple Muffins (Vegan + GF) or 1-Bowl Vegan Coffee Cake (GF, Oil-Free)? You won’t regret the combo.
